Chicken Mug Shots.
We only have six chickens left, and most of them are pretty long in the tooth, so I figured updated photos might be in order.
This is S's White Rock rooster Undead (also sometimes referred to as Silent Death or more recently Mr. Scary Bird). He is the sole survivor of a batch of 3 chickens we got almost 4 years ago.
Living in the same pen with Undead are the following four hens.
H's Silver Wyandotte Loo Loo Loo, 6.5 years old - from the last flock we got while still at the old house, a set of three that are all still alive.
S's Barred Rock Nutsy Rose, 6.5 years old.
C's Buff Orpington - he has two and I can no longer tell them apart, so this one is either Jumpy who is almost 6 years old, or Goldie Feather who is 6.5 years old.
The Americana Pepper/Black and White Rainbow, almost 6 years old. She's the only chicken laying eggs for me anymore.
This last hen lives with the geese. She got moved in with them to recover from an injury caused by the rooster and agravated by one of the hens. She recovered beautifully, decided she liked it there, and has stayed in that yard ever since.
The other Buff Orpington.
